Activin A and Sertoli Cells: Key to Fetal Testis Steroidogenesis

, 2022
The long-standing knowledge that Sertoli cells determine fetal testosterone production levels is not widespread, despite being first reported over a decade ago in studies of mice.

Accumulation of Seminolipid in Sertoli Cells Is Associated with Increased Levels of Reactive Oxygen Species and Male Subfertility: Studies in Aging Arsa Null Male Mice

Antioxidants, 2021
Seminolipid (also known as sulfogalactosylglycerolipid-SGG), present selectively in male germ cells, plays important roles in spermatogenesis and sperm–egg interaction. The proper degradation of SGG in apoptotic germ cells is also as important.

Post-Thaw Viability and Functionality of Cryopreserved Rat Fetal Brain Cells Cocultured with Sertoli Cells

Cell Transplantation, 1997
Testis-derived Sertoli cells have been used to create an immune “privileged” site outside of the testis to facilitate cell transplantation protocols for diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases.

The Expression of TLR2 and TLR3 in Sertoli Cells of Azoospermic Patients

Cell Journal, 2017
Objective: Toll-like receptors (TLRs) on Sertoli cells are thought to have essential roles in sperm protection. This study was conducted to investigate the expression of TLR2 and TLR3 in Sertoli cells of men with azoospermia. Materials and Methods: In

Sertoli cells as key drivers of testis function

, 2022
Sertoli cells are the orchestrators of spermatogenesis; they support fetal germ cell commitment to the male pathway and are essential for germ cell development, from maintenance of the spermatogonial stem cell niche and spermatogonial populations ...

The role of estrogen receptors in rat Sertoli cells at different stages of development

Heliyon, 2020
The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of estrogen receptors (ESR1 and ESR2) on the expression of the proteins involved with proliferation (CCND1) and differentiation (CDKN1B and CTNNB) of Sertoli cells from rat in different stages of ...

Sertoli Cell Line Lacks the Immunoprotective Properties Associated with Primary Sertoli Cells

Cell Transplantation, 2008
Sertoli cells are important for maintenance of the immune privileged environment of the testis and prolong survival of cotransplanted cells. The objective of the current study was to examine the immunoprotective properties of a mouse Sertoli cell line ...

The ATP-binding cassette transporter 1 mediates lipid efflux from Sertoli cells and influences male fertility

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
The liver X receptor/retinoid X receptor (LXR/RXR)-regulated gene ABCA1 effluxes cellular cholesterol and phospholipid to apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1), which is the rate-limiting step in high-density lipoprotein synthesis.

Presence and localization of a 30-kDa basic fibroblast growth factor-like protein in rodent testes [PDF]

, 1991
We have used a recently characterized rabbit antiserum against basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), which recognizes various forms of bFGF, to examine the presence and localization of bFGF in the testes of adult rats and mice and the 5-day-old rat.

MiRNA-34c Regulates Bovine Sertoli Cell Proliferation, Gene Expression, and Apoptosis by Targeting the AXL Gene

Animals, 2021
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play significant roles in mammalian spermatogenesis. Sertoli cells can provide a stable microenvironment and nutritional factors for germ cells, thus playing a vital role in spermatogenesis.
